"If you are talking about managing the spread of the [Omicron] variant in countries that are already seeing a surge, it may be too late," Abeyasinghe said during a televised public briefing.

WHO representative in the Philippines, Dr. Rabindra Abeyasinghe (File photo) MANILA - The current alert level imposed by the government in the National Capital Region (NCR) may be adequate as the country's healthcare system would be able to manage the surge in coronavirus infections until January 27 or 28, World Health Organization (WHO) country representative Dr. Rabindra Abeyasinghe said Wednesday. With the surge in cases especially in the NCR, the government is expected to decide within the week whether to retain the current Alert Level 3 or tighten it to Alert Level 4 from January 16 to 31.
